Diamond's letter on the Norwood and South Adelaide football match of Saturday last. He states that he watched the game, and thought the Souths played as friendly and as manly a game as the Norwoods. As for hooting and foul language, there was not much difference between the partisans of either club; that until the Norwood Club came into existence these distur-bances were never known on the football field. ' Not a South' concludes by hoping the other clubs will not follow in the steps of the Nor woods by cancelling their engagements with the Souths or any other club, for it appears to him by the course they have adopted the Association is totally ignored.
